Sometimes it is easier to pass up the chance to say thank you than to actually say those two tiny words. Let’s show some gratitude this season with some fun ideas that will make anyone’s day.

Give a free hug. Yes, that is it. If you are not big on embracing someone, eye hugs are pretty easy and hey, it gets a pretty good laugh too.

Pay it forward. Buy the person behind you a cup of coffee or give someone some flowers just because. This kind of thing has made headlines before, just think, your act of kindness can go viral.

Make a list of your favorite things about that person. Someone once did this for me and it is one of the most treasured things I own (and it is free).

Write a “Thank You” email. I know handwritten notes are basically dead so let’s jump to the thing we are on all day every day. Here I’ll get you started… Subject line: Thank you

Next time you are having a drink with your favorite people reach out and make a mini toast, it is totally unexpected. Memorize one so it comes out easier. One of my favorites is an Irish blessing. “When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let’s all get drunk, and go to heaven!”
